I feel like the cups on the 28F Patsy I tried were narrower. These are very wide on me so it doesn't work. I would also do well with a tighter band. Feels softer and more comfy than the Patsy I had. Possibly a difference in wash and wear between the two though.

Cuts in on the inner side, otherwise size sems OK.

Need a 28 band. The 30 closes on the tightest hook straight out of the box and I know it will stretch. Very cute bra, I have the Zest pastel colors.

Edit: I definitely quad out of this, now that I know what a better fit is. Need an F, and a smaller band, so would need a 28FF if it was made. Unfortunately it's not, so as much as I looooove this bra, I sold it. The whole point of this bra fitting quest of mine is to own and wear bras that actually fit. Sigh. Another one bites the dust.

Got it in "demin" color. Its comfortable. The cups are more lined than padded, and the outer fabric is silky feeling and soft. The straps adjust nicely. All in all, I'm a fan.

The underwires on this bra are slightly longer than on the Freya balconette-plunges, which is ideal for me as I often find that the wires are not quite high enough on the sides. I could actually have them two inches higher again and still not be stabbed in the armpit! The cup fits perfectly on my larger side, but even with the strap tightened, there is still a small amount of gapping near the centre gore on my smaller side. Luckily it doesn't show, even under a tight T-shirt.

I'm pleased with this bra - it gives nice support and the band is a good tightness, but not strangling me when new like some of my 30s from Cleo and Panache.I have a very slight gap after wearing it for a while at the far outside edge of the top, but this happens to me in basically every bra since, for whatever reason, I have no real breast tissue there. The gore is also short enough to behave itself okay with my close breasts. I also would like to mention that the straps do need to be tightened so the clasp is just an inch below the tops of my shoulders - don't know why they are so long on this bra! They do adjust all the way through the front though, so they could go even shorter if someone needed. The wires are wider than I need but not uncomfortable so this is a keeper!

I've loved the look of the Totally Tartan since it first came out, so I sprung for it when I saw it on sale. I want it to fit. I want it to fit so badly, and if I didn't know better I could excuse the fit issues. The band is definitely too big - I can pull it out a good six inches or so off my back - but sadly it doesn't come in a 28. Putting it on a tighter hook helps. It quadboobs near the center and gapes where the straps meet the cup depending on my posture - holding my shoulders back as I should definitely helps with that. Slouching even makes the quadboob become gaping! I always thought half-cups would be a decent fit for me, but this bra just has me completely baffled.

I agonized over whether to return this bra or not for a really long time, but in the end decided to return it. It doesn't fit. Maybe another time I'll try again.
